My research was focused on identifying mutations in common canine cancers and examining how they relate to human cancers. An additional focus of mine is on screening these canine cancers to an array of anti-tumor drugs to determine their response and suitability for use in other mammalian models.

Putting something together and making stuff is the ultimate problem-solving puzzle experiment. It's the trial and error that's the fun part. My first programming course was with Dr. Reinhart, and he realized that I was very interested in programming.

I really appreciated the professors' efforts to diversify the reading lists and ensure that many cultures and perspectives were well-represented. As a Latina, I cannot say that I had read Latin-American literature before my classes at Cal Lutheran, where professors made a conscious effort to feature an array of voices.
